One defeat too many for Gattuso. The day after another setback for his team in Brest (0-1), the Italian coach of Olympique de Marseille was fired by the club. Information revealed by Foot Mercato and Provence and that we are able to confirm.
Arriving at the end of last September a few days after the resignation of his predecessor, Marcelino, Gennaro Gattuso will have spent only five months at the head of the Marseille squad for an average record: 9 wins, 8 draws and 7 defeats. In Ligue 1, Marseille remains on a series of 4 draws and two defeats in the last six days and occupies ninth place in the ranking.
Apart from its success in the Coupe de France against Thionville, OM have not won since December 17 and the reception of Clermont. Sunday evening in Brest, Gennaro Gattuso appeared particularly dejected. “I need to apologize to the supporters, to the club,” he explained on Prime Video. We’ve hit rock bottom and when we do, we need to take responsibility. We shouldn’t say more, don’t talk about the referee or anything. »
Jean-Louis Gasset on the bench until the end of the season?
The Marseillais are still in the running in the Europa League but conceded a draw (2-2) in their round of 16 first leg against Shaktar Donetsk. The return match will be played this Thursday, February 22 at the Stade Vélodrome. We don’t know who will take their place on the Olympian bench but for now, Jean-Louis Gasset is the club’s priority to succeed him until the end of the season. According to our information, the bipartite negotiations are well advanced and should lead, barring a possible change in trend, to an agreement in the coming hours.
Last September, the name of Christophe Galtier was mentioned. The former Parisian technician and the leaders of OM had even started discussions to take over from Marcelino. At the time, the man who manages the Al-Duhaïl team in Qatar was at the heart of a legal case, following accusations of racism to which he had been the subject at OGC Nice. Since then, Christophe Galtier has been acquitted by the Nice criminal court (Alpes-Maritimes).
